Olfactive Studio Vanilla Shot is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Bertrand Duchaufour. Vanilla Shot opens with Saffron, Coriander, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Rose, Opoponax, and Dried Fruits, and dries down to a base of Vanilla, Benzoin, Myrrh, and Caramel. Olfactive Studio's Vanilla Shot carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

Don't let the name fool you, this isn't a straightforward vanilla. It's a divisive, complex, spicy affair that leans heavily on saffron and myrrh, with vanilla playing a supporting role. Love it or hate it, you can't ignore it.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:
Casual

Its long-lasting and strong sillage, combined with its unique, spicy character, make it less suitable for an office environment where subtlety is key. It excels on dates and formal occasions where its depth and warmth can shine, but it's too potent for casual wear or sport.

About

Vanilla Shot opens with a bold, almost astringent burst of aldehydes, sharpened by saffron and coriander. This initial kick mellows into a heart of resinous opoponax and dried fruits, warmed by a subtle rose. The drydown reveals a surprisingly dry, spicy vanilla, bolstered by myrrh, benzoin, and a hint of caramel, creating a smoky, antique-like aroma rather than a sweet gourmand.
